The point is it was always lies you fucking retard for 1000's of years. Why the fuck are you retarded?

I know what you are saying posting snopes tier memes and rumors without fact checking, that would actually date back to email, did phones have an impact on it? Possibly but you are just talking about more access to social media period. Let you in on a secret, most people are idiots and believe almost anything you tell them so the medium/platform doesn't matter.

Let you in on a bigger secret, the news has always been fake it is nothing new. So everyone who ever bought or sold a newspaper was spreading fake news long before computers were even invented. You are trying to distinguish home grown fake news from old fashioned coordinated fake news which is just stupid.

Fake news and bullshit is fake news and bullshit no matter what the source just because the media lost a monopoly on peddling bullshit doesn't make the new ways of distributing the bullshit the cause of the bullshit being spread
